Coldspring Trojans


Recommended Posts

It will be pretty hard for them to put together another run like they did last year they lost a lot of talent. With that being said if they can somehow replace that o-line and if Gilbert can handle a heavier load with Cummings gone then the sky is the limit. With the athletes and coaching coldspring has I don't think there will be much of a drop off, but asking them to make back to back trips to state is a pretty tall order.

there's no doubt in our mind that we will make it back to the state championship, but only this time were going to hope that we leave Dallas Stadium with an "W". The offensive line will provide enough for sherman Gilbert and Alfred Scott to work with. They're all big and very aggressive. The defense will be even more dominant than last years with the MLB kedrick Harrison returning and DT Chance Andries. We"ll have plenty to work with, great supporting cast on both sides of the ball. ;)[color=red][/color]

Well when you got teams like Kirbyville, Wos, BC in the way its tough for the Trojans.

I know every coach out there is confident.  You can't be a good coach unless ur confident.  In talking to Coach Barbay back in the spring he was very confident in the O-linemen that would replace last years group.  I really think that Sherman and the defense are going to be great. Alfred has another year under his belt and with the trip to the title game should really help his experience.  I think this is the year we finally bring it home.  We have been very close so many times.

Should be a very interesting year (especially early on) with what should be a very tough game to start the season at Kirbyville....The offense could be as good as last year but alot of stuff would have to go right for that to happen....Entire brand new Oline will have to play up to the level of last years group (which could happen but is still alot to ask, especially early on)....

QB position should be better with Scott having a year of experience....Running game should still be very good with Gilbert returning....Monroe (who played primarily SS last year) should be the other starting RB with Tre Cooper also getting carries along with possibly sophomores Giddens & Johnson....Would expect Gilbert and Monroe to get most of the carries....Monroe will surprise those who haven't watched him run the ball before...The coaches know what they have and Barbay himself indicated as much when stating about a week ago or so that this years RB's (as crazy as it sounds) might be better than last years....The speed and ability is there...It's just a question of how quickly the new line can gell and play at the varsity level while wearing the bullseye that comes with being last years state finalist...


Defensively, Coldspring's speed/athleticism & Coach Morrison's scheme should enable them to be a formidable group again this year....I think Traylor (DL) and Kelley (FS) will be missed the most....Traylor was hard to block and disruptive and Kelley was a hard hitter from the FS position and had the speed to run down coverage busts and anything else in the secondary....He was also the one who was making the calls and getting everyone lined up correctly in the secondary...

Harrison, Andries, Monroe, Cooper & Sykes should once again be the leaders on D....Harrison and Monroe were 1 and 2 respectively last year in tackles....Sykes lead the team in interceptions with 9 or 10 and Andries is just a really, really good player who makes plays and is tough...Cooper was great last year and played much bigger than his size would suggest...

Depth will be something to watch as several key players will be required to play most of the snaps on both sides of the ball....Last years squad had a fresh 11 for both sides...This years team will not be afforded the same luxury..

It should be a exciting year...Can't wait for it to get started...

New to the site. Trojans will have the task of rebuilding the offensive line and the line is the key to protecting the QB Scott and RB Gilbert.  Trojans may have some adustments period in pre-district but should be ready by the time district starts.  How far they go deepends on the defenses ability to cover the pass :)
